 Here's what I've been working on on the side the past month. I was using photo references for the room and figures but found that the figures are so dark in the pics that I end up painting them from my imagination. Today I decided that I will take all the major characters and replace them with figures from  the French Impressionist paintings. So far I painted in the two ladies in the right foreground with two Renoir figures. I like the result so far.

684 Pink and Red Roses in a Jar

Available

I did this today in the lobby of the Empress. I love adding motifs like the one on the pink cloth under the jar. It's a bit impressionist because the sunlight changed constantly throughout the painting.

Red roses this time. Red roses signify deep everlasting love. I made a video of me painting this today. I'll post it on youtube as soon as I get a spare moment.

681 Pink Roses in a Jar

SOLD

Time for a change. I found these charming pink baby roses today at the local grocers  and painted them at the Empress Hotel. Guests of the hotel stopped to watch me paint and the kids especially seemed to enjoy watching and interacting.

679 Sunflower in a Widemouth Jar on Turquoise

I just really like that turquoise background for flowers.  Turquoise just seems to go with everything.

I was worried that this short stem sunflower wouldn't read right in a painting. But I quite like the results.

Todays painting. Sorry I've been neglecting my daily paintings to work on a large detailed painting of the Empress interior. I'll try to pull up my socks.

I did this with the only light coming in from the north facing window. I quite like it at this stage.
